Overview

Monte Cristo Inn represents the privacy, comfort, and style of a classic European bed and breakfast hotel. It was started in 1875 and is a historical place that continues to be one of the top boutique hotels in San Francisco.

Monte Cristo Inn stands in one of San Francisco’s oldest neighborhoods. Fillmore Street and Union Street are first-rated shopping destinations located within walking distance. Many of the Victorian shops located nearby have been restored and are worth a visit. Sacramento Street is also close to the hotel and houses several stores selling unique antiques. Travelers who take an interest in topics such as scenery and architecture can visit Pacific Heights.

A unique ambience and top-notch service characterizes the rooms at Monte Cristo Inn, which are among the best in the region. The marble-lined bathrooms in every room are en-suite and feature a rain shower and Japanese-style heated toilet seat. Some of the rooms are available at street level to house guests with mobility constraints. For extra privacy and space, a junior suite is a good option. There’s a flat-screen TV in every room as well as free WiFi service.

Guests staying at Monte Cristo Inn are served a continental breakfast, which contains pastries, yogurt, and fresh fruits. There are gluten-free options available as well. Freshly brewed coffee and tea are also available. Dining is possible in the sitting room, breakfast room, and in the guest rooms. Further varied dining options can be explored nearby.

Monte Cristo Inn runs shuttle services to the San Francisco International Airport, making it convenient for guests to travel to and from the hotel.

A historic building set in a centralized location that offers all the comforts of the modern world is what makes Monte Cristo Inn a favorite location for all types of travelers.
